Liqui Contracts forms part of Liqui Group Ltd. which was initially started by designer/maker Cameron Fry in 2007 with the aim of establishing a design practice with a multi-disciplined approach. Liqui Contracts design and manufacture contract furniture and lighting for architects and clients engaged in projects around the world. We have become known for creating contract grade products that have a domestic aesthetic; giving them both durability and a friendly appeal with their distinctive style.

MADE IN BRITAIN

With sustainability in mind, almost our entire range of furniture and lighting is manufactured in Britain. Here we can draw on a pool of highly skilled craftspeople, use consistently high-quality materials and utilise the latest technology – making production more efficient by cutting down on waste due to mistakes and scrap. Our team of designers and makers work together at our design workshop to develop commercial products that combine utilitarian purpose with a designer edge. Using a mix of traditional skills and modern production methods, such as CNC, we can manufacture hand finished products on a commercial scale without compromising quality.

TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES / MODERN IDEAS

Our whole design practice has an artisanal attention to detail and a passion for good quality, sustainable materials. By combining modern technology with traditional techniques we can achieve the highest standard of finish while maintaining large-scale production. For example, we can use CNC programming to machine cut components which are then assembled and finished by hand. We think of it as ‘digital joinery’.

PROCESS-LED DESIGN

Our design studios deliberately overlook our main workshop which makes it easy to maintain a strong link between our process-led design approach and how we manufacture things. Our designers regularly roll up their sleeves to work on prototypes in the workshop. This means they can get to know the strengths and limitations of materials, figure out the best manufacturing methods and adjust their designs accordingly – leading to innovative ideas and more efficient means of production.

SUSTAINABLE APPROACH

Liqui have always strived to make eco-friendly products, and sustainability is at the heart of everything we create: from how it’s designed and the materials we use to the method of production; all of these things are considered. As well as only using timber products that are FSC certified, our environmentally friendly approach is also reflected in the fact that Liqui’s main workshop and design studios are entirely run on 100% renewable energy.

CENTRED ON SUSTAINABILITY
